2 Final report on the study The impact of the Bologna process in civil engineering education and profession in Europe Phase I: Bologna process and the academic world Prof. Iacint Manoliu 58 th ECCE meeting Nicosia, 25 October 2013
3 At the Dubrovnik meeting of the ECCE Standing Committee on Education & Training it was decided to include in the work plan for 2013 the preparation of a study entitled: Impact of the Bologna process on civil engineering education and profession in Europe. The Study was planned to be produced in two phases: Phase I: Bologna process and the academic world Phase II: Bologna process and the professional world For both phases was required the participation of ECCE members for conducting surveys. Two surveys were proposed for the Phase I: A. Survey on the education system B. Survey conducted among academics.
4 The results of the two surveys, based on the answers received only from ECCE members were presented and discussed at the 57 th ECCE meeting in Lisbon on 31 st May After the meeting in Lisbon, it was decided to continue the work for the Phase I by involving also members of EUCEET Association and having thus a joint ECCE- EUCEET study on the Bologna Process and the academic world.
5 The Bologna Process
6 The Bologna Process started on 14 th June 1999 when Ministers of education from 29 countries issued The Bologna Declaration on the European Higher Education Area
7 Main action lines defined in the Bologna Declaration : Adoption of a system of easily readable and comparable degrees Adoption of a system essentially based on two main cycles, undergraduate and graduate. Access to the second cycle shall require successful completion of first cycles studies, lasting a minimum of three year. The degree awarded after the first cycle shall also be relevant to the European labour market as an appropriate level qualification.
8 Civil Engineering Education and the Bologna Process
9 Civil engineering education in Europe in 1999 A rather simple and clear situation. Two basic systems: The continental or binary system, characterized by the coexistence in most European countries, of the two parallel types of engineering education: of long duration, of 5 year (exceptionally 6 years) and of short duration, of 3 4 years
10 Civil engineering education in Europe in 1999 The anglo-saxon or two-tier system, with undergraduate courses leading to Bachelor of Engineering degreefollowed by postgraduate studies leading to a Master of Sciences degree.
11 Providers of Civil engineering education in Europe in 1999, belonged to two distinct sectors: University sector (Universities, Technical Universities, GrandesEcoles) Non-university sector (Fachhochschulen-AT, BE, Hogescholen NL, BE-Flanders, Engineering Colleges -DK, Polytechnics -FI, Technological Education Institutes GR, Technical Colleges HU, Polytechnic Institutes PT, University Colleges NO, RO, SE, etc. Institutions aimed to provide short duration, professionally oriented programmes.
12 Distribution of the system of civil engineering education in the academic year
13 Distribution of the system of civil engineering education in the university sector in the academic year
14 Phase I: Bologna process and the academic world Survey on the education system
15 Survey on the education system
16 EUCEET-ECCE study Survey on the education system Answers were received from 21 countries: BE, BG, CZ, DE, EE, ES, FI, FR, GE, GR, IE, IT, HR, HU, NL, PL, PT, RO, RU, SI, UK, TR 1 Please note that the answers do not hold true necessarily for the whole of Belgium since there are slight differences in the French speaking part and in Flanders 2 Many, hard to know as the name of the bachelor degree is not uniform. Around 20 will be offering the bachelor (chartered) andaround 11 the master of Civil Engineering (four private universities) (chartered) 3 +lower level instit 4 There are four faculties of civil engineering and one polytechnic that offer studies of civil engineering. 5 Universities 6 Universities of applied science 7 Many, hard to know as the name of the bachelor degree is not uniform. Around 20 will be offering the bachelor (chartered) andaround 11 the master of Civil Engineering (four private universities) (chartered) 8 (>90 Civil Enginering departments, evening programmes in >30)
17 EUCEET-ECCE study Survey on the education system Question 3 If the answer to the previous question is YES, on which basis is made the differentiation? on other basis 19% on the belonging to the university system or to the nonuniversity system 35% on the degrees offered 46% Notes: 1) BE, duration of master programme. Orientation to more scientific or more applied approach 2) DE, education with different specification like internationality (European Civil Eng. Management), management and legislation, building and facility management etc 3) EE, Applied oriented (polytechnics) 4-year study does not give the degree. 4) HR, In Croatia we have a binary system for civil engineering education [both university (academic) and vocational (professional) studies] and three cycles [undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate university (academic) programmes and undergraduate and specialist graduate vocational (professional) study programmes]. There are four faculties of civil engineering and one polytechnic that offer studies of civil engineering. Faculties have the possibility to offer university and vocational study programmes. Polytechnics can offer only vocational programmes. Three Faculties offer both university and vocational study programmes on different levels. One Faculty offers only university study programmes and in the same city the vocational programmes are offered by the Polytechnic. 5) DUT: civil engineering, University of Twente: civil engineering and management 6) TR: (curriculum emphasis)

34 Few samples from the comments added by some respondents to the survey conducted among academics
35 Survey conducted among academics In this time of recession with high unemployment rate in Croatia it is difficult to say that the first degree has poor relevance for the labour market. There are jobs in civil engineering that do not require the level of master in civil engineering but if there is a possibility to employ a master or a bachelor for the same salary then it is logical to employ a master. The most important difference is that college now looks more like high school and as a consequence the students are less independent and teaching looks more like give them some examples and ground rules for the exam and if they reproduce similar tasks at the exam and/or colloquium that s that. No tricky questions please! And from mind breaking tasks new and improved ideas emerge and students are the best materials for such ideas! Don t suppress that!
36 Survey conducted among academics Structuring high education by study cycles is not good because: 1) sends in the second cycle some disciplines whose knowledge are needed in the first cycle; 2) some disciplines who rely on basic disciplines are studied concurrently with them, not after they. - The survey does not enable to express the negative opinion and to point real threats related to general lowering of education level which was caused by Bologna process. The idea to unify the education could have a positive influence on weak technical universities. In case of high standard universities it caused a waste of time and irrelevance of learning programs. The newly introduced Bachelor's degree has not been accepted either by public or by employers. Both groups consider Master's degree the only proper degree of a university graduate. (b) Since university funding is mostly based on enrollment, the universities give preference to the number of students over the demands put on the knowledge and skills of the graduates. The Bologna process should be abandoned and reversed.

49 Few samples from the comments added by some respondents to the survey conducted among professionals
50 Survey among professionals As a professional engineer in the field of structural engineering, and as a doctoral candidate I have some insight to the new system. My opinion is negative because I've been told by my colleagues in the education system thatthebarforpassingexamsislowered,and theyneedtokeep itthatway. This negatively influenced the adoption of basic knowledge by the students who in turn used the flaws of the system to their advantage by "walking through" most basics without actually knowing anything. I wish the system to be back to five-year-cycle(continental system). The Bologna process was a good idea for the mobility of students, but it failed, one of the reasons the mobility of the students is not possible. The second is that every university has their own statute for terms of study.
51 Survey among professionals Too many types of degrees! Only two basic are sufficient. Upgrade can be made with mr.sc. and dr.sc. in scientific field and in practical by some extra classes and/or degrees. We need more studies like this one to see what is appropriate education. Immediate return to the continental system - 5 years. Dividing the cycle of studying in two parts we are not to develop the ability for analysis and synthesis, creativity in solving unknown problems and in creating new ideas. The "continental" system will be reintroduced immediately, before completing destroy the whole civil engineering system. As soon as possible! No further comments!
